The Lyon Cares Foundation announced today that Stanford Settlement is the recipient of a $5,000 grant. Their mission is to help build healthy communities through individual, family, and neighborhood services.

Operated by Lyon Real Estate, the Lyon Cares Foundation offers time, talent, and treasure to local nonprofits that make their communities a better place. Funds are raised through escrow and payroll contributions by Lyon agents and staff in addition to Lyon’s annual Golf Tournament.

“The grant will support Stanford Settlement's Teen Center. It's a safe place for teens to be when school is out. It offers small groups, where teens can talk about the challenges they face,” said Julie Rhoten, Assistant Director of Stanford Settlement. “We are grateful for the support of the Lyon Cares Foundation!”

“It gives us great pride to give this grant to Stanford Settlement,” said Lyon Real Estate president Pat Shea. “They are doing very important work.”

In 2018, each of Lyon’s 14 offices, in addition to their headquarters office will be giving two $5,000 grants to organizations of their choice, totaling $150,000. Lyon’s Downtown office chose Stanford Settlement to be the recipient of their grant.
